Esterbrook Estie Video Script

This is the Esterbrook Estie fountain pen. It comes in a red cardboard box, with a fabric exterior. The Esterbrook logo is printed on the top of the box lid, established 1858. There is a magnetic catch on the lid for the box that opens and on the underside of the lid is "America's Original, Reborn."

This is a new Esterbrook pen they just released. It has the information about Esterbrook in the box as well. It is a cartridge converter pen, so included with the pen is a standard international ink cartridge. And of course we have the Esterbrook Estie fountain pen. This happens to be the cobalt blue color with the chrome trim. Each of the models come with either a chrome or gold clip, and then a matching logo. The logo is filled with a silver color to match the clip on the pen. So not a lot of branding, just that one simple logo. Cigar type shape to the pen, with rounded ends on both the cap and the barrel of the pen.

The cap is threaded and unscrews, and it can be posted on the end of the barrel of the pen. There are some matching rings between the section and the barrel of the pen, to match the clip as well, and that chrome color. Then a stainless steel nib and a black feed on the pen. Since it is a cartridge converter style fountain pen, you can unscrew the section from the barrel of the pen. And included with the pen is an ink converter for fountain pen inks, you can also use that cartridge to get you started or other cartridges as well. Any standard international cartridge will work.

One of the nice features of the Esterbrook Estie is you can buy a replacement section for the pen, which allows you to use vintage Esterbrook nibs. We have the option to buy the section with an Esterbrook vintage nib, or you can buy it without and use your own vintage new if you have one. So that's a nice feature for the pen. Nice new pen from Esterbrook. Get Your Esterbrook Estie fountain pen at PenChalet.com!

My fifth Esterbrook, second “Estie”. Nice pen in all respects. I like the weight. Well balanced posted or not. Also, credit due to whoever designed Esterbrook’s packaging - very nice! These pens would make great gifts.

Absolutely the finest writing instrument I've ever used in my life. The ink flows smoothly on almost any grade of paper. Definitely worth the investment.

This little Lilac gem has joined the rest of the Estie collection of mine. I can't get enough of these!!! Their size and weight are, for lack of better words...Most Excellent!!! I got the regular size and it fits perfectly in my hand and fingers.The pen also comes with a converter so I put some Classic Platinum Cassis Black ink in it - WOW is all I have.....(that review is next) The Nib is a wonderful Broad #6 that has the grace of an Ice Skater....not sure who makes it for them. I will sometimes swap them for JoWo Nibs that are Amazing as well.

This is a great pen. I particularly like the unique way the cap seals the nib. Exceptional design.

Esterbrook Estie in Cobalt/Gold. The pen is very well made with attention to detail. No sharp edges on the cap or threads, good balance, and a delightful writer (medium nib). Very simple and elegant pen with only the clip showing when closed. Taking the cap off shows off the accents (gold on mine) on both the section and barrel. I prefer to post my pens, and this one allows for that. The nib has just enough feedback to be pleasant. Definitely not as much as a Platinum, not even Aurora, but some feedback. The medium nib is wet enough to allow for shading to show through on inks, but not wet enough to mess up your pages. A nice balance. One thing I am looking forward to is purchasing the adaptor that will allow the use of vintage Esterbrook nibs. Maybe that’s a marketing novelty, but I have a collection of vintage Esterbrooks with all manner of nibs, and it would be a hoot to try them out in a modern writer.

This torpedo or "balance" shape is my favorite and this size fits my hand perfectly, not too long or short. The pen is fairly light and the section fits my hand so it can be used for a long time and with no fatigue.But probably the best part of this pen is the nib/feed. It starts writing as soon as the nib hits the paper, regardless of how long I let it sit. It writes a consistent thin line (I got a Fine nib). Probably the best steel nib I have.The cap does have the spring loaded inner cap to seal the nib and prevent it from drying out. Frankly I find it a bit annoying but it does work I guess.Not a "cheap" pen but an excellent value.

Of my 300+ pens, this was the best "immediate out of box" experience. I was absolutely blown away by the feel and quality. I just "wanted an Etsie" for my collection. It has the feel of a $500 + pen. I added the converter and am enjoying trying out the vintage nibs (ooh, the medium stub). It is not as "Green" as appears around the web photos, but it is a nice grey-green in person. It has a very modern seal system, so I have had zero evaporation. The "Click and screw" capping process is odd at first, but yields a nice benefit. My F felt like a butter soft custom job at a pen show.
